 Good morning. My name is Jerry Smith. I'm a code enforcement officer for the City of Columbia Police Department. This morning, we're going to talk about houses that need to be demoed, that's a blight to the community. As you can see this house here, it had a small fire here, but the house itself is in very poor condition here. And when we get these houses here, you know, it makes the neighbors on each side property value goes down. So what we're doing here in the City of Columbia is we're starting to tear down some of these houses. It's a process we have to go through. We go and we talk to the owner, try to get permission from the owner to tear it down. If not, we have to go through the legal resources to use our city attorneys and stuff to do title searches on it, to see what necessarily needs to be done so that we can legally tear this house down. And you know, it's actually a good thing for a lot of property owners because the city will come in, if the owner will give us a demo consent, will tear the house down, clear all the property off here. Now the property itself can be sold. You're never going to sell nothing that looks like this in this particular condition here. Plus it makes the community better, looking better. And someone can come in here and build a new house or whatever they want to do here at this location right here. It actually will make their property value go up without this house and this condition right here. So, be a good neighbor and do your part.
